Description:

Keir Starmer has met MPs and ministers in Parliament after allies of Health Secretary Wes Streeting said he could launch a leadership challenge on Thursday

Starmer told them: "We cannot let a leadership contest plunge us into chaos... a [leadership] challenge would 100% do that," the BBC's Joe Pike reports
